"In education, with our efforts to translate research based strategies into practice, we must ensure that teachers know a sufficiently broad repertoire of scientifically-based strategies to address the very unique learning needs and circumstances that students bring to the classroom"



In 2005 almost 90% of 6-21-year-old students receiving speech and language services in the schools spent more than 75% of their time in the general education environment (OSEP, 2005)

HIGHLY FUNCTIONALTeachers consistently use pre-assessment as a basis for differentiation of instruction in all areas. Differentiationof research-based instruction is observable in all classrooms/programs. There are opportunities for students toimprove and enrich their learning through expanded uses of time, facilities, instructional resources, and throughcollaborative networks of support within the school, at home, and across the community. Review and re-teachingoccur through individualized interventions.
